West Coast...2017 3YO Champion Male horse chased hard to no avail while finishing well ahead of
Gunnevera...who was up for 3rd by a 1/2 over,
Fear The Cowboy...a surprise 4th.

Gun Runner certainly gave a HOY performance, but West Coast showed us again that he is a serious racehorse. Stellar Wind didn’t disgrace herself, but I’m glad she is retiring.

Gun Runner and West Coast were all class! Nice finish by both. I was surprised to see Stellar Wind in the field, glad she finished mid-pack, at least. Great race mare.

Go Gun Runner! Like Smarty Jones and others, he proves that size isn't everything.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....
